Kickass Cold Brew Recipe [For Those Hot Days]

I don’t know about you, but a great cup of iced coffee-ahem cold brew- is DIVINE. I’m not a huge iced coffee drinker at any other time but from the months of June to September I am hooked. And with a coffee habit like that, that’s gonna cost some money. When you make it yourself you can really not just save that hole burning in your pocket, you infuse love in every single sip.

But this version is not a freshly brewed coffee that has ice added, it’s a long process (meaning, you have to wait at least 12 hours) but a lot simpler than you think. AND! You’ll have coffee ready for you in the morning without having to the work! That’s pretty awesome.

Why cold brew though?

Coffee contains many phytochemicals, antioxidants and other nutrients that research has proved to be beneficial for our beautiful bodies. But! Sometimes drinking coffee can cause acid reflux or other issues that are acid related. If you brew that coffee cold (ahem cold brew), you reduce the acidity in the coffee and enjoy a sweeter less bitter taste.

I upgrade my cold brew by whisking in full fat coconut cream and some grade b maple syrup to give it that elegant frothy feel a la your fave coffee shop. Now all you need are some really really good quality coffee beans and you will be good to go!
